Some of it came from, we like to do a lot of playing around with doubling on the show, you know?
We wanted to keep on playing with the ideas of the Joker, and also ways of telling the audience that Jerome is not our Joker — not The Joker, even if he was our Joker — or that he’s doing another version of The Joker on the show who’s also not The Joker.
[laughs] But the idea was: Jerome, as chaotic and anarchic as the acting can be, doesn’t embody all of the qualities that would go on to eventually be The Joker.
